Mouse model supports long-held belief that viruses can trigger Parkinson's disease

Scientists usually use animal models when studying Parkinson's disease because these models mimic the disease well. They are limited, however, because they require either gene modifications or the injection of toxicants, which may not accurately represent how the disease occurs i

Scalable mindfulness model can help treat chronic low back pain

Low back pain affects over 600 million people and is the single leading cause of disability worldwide. New research from Boston Medical Center (BMC), the largest essential hospital in New England, suggests that the Optimizing Pain Treatment In Medical settings Using Mindfulness (

Uncovering gene-based clues to how disrupted healing in stomach cells increases cancer ris

Few areas of the body face more daily stress and potential damage than the stomach, which must manage everything we swallow. Along with this constant strain, the stomach also produces acid that can damage its own lining and increase the risk of ulcers.

Breast milk gives certain gut bacteria a head start

Breast milk helps shape the gut microbiota for longer than previously thought. Researchers from DTU and Rigshospitalet have discovered that sugars in breast milk, which are nondigestible by the infant—so-called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs)—influence which bacteria thrive in

Personalized disease-in-a-dish can improve a pancreatitis patient's therapeutic path

Around 3 million people worldwide struggle with chronic pancreatitis, a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed, scarred and painful. There is no cure for chronic pancreatitis, and it is difficult to alter the disease trajectory after onset.

Treatment for alcohol use disorder can reverse harmful brain effects

When we drink alcohol, our liver breaks it down into acetate, which the body can then burn as fuel. A new Neuropsychopharmacology study has discovered that chronic alcohol use can alter how the brain metabolizes acetate—and that these effects are reversible.

A portable ultrasound system could make reliable breast imaging more accessible

For people at high risk of developing breast cancer, yearly mammograms may not be enough to detect tumors early. To make earlier diagnosis easier, an MIT team has developed portable detectors based on ultrasound, which could be used much more frequently.

A simple message helps keep stem cell donors on track

When a patient needs a stem cell transplant, finding a registered donor is only the first step. Some potential donors drop out before confirmatory typing, reducing the pool from which doctors can choose. Researchers from Osaka University and collaborators tested whether a small c

Fatty liver drives a more dangerous form of colorectal cancer spread, study reveals

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven, with international partners, have uncovered how fatty liver disease can fuel the most aggressive form of metastatic colorectal cancer. The findings, which appear in the journal Nature, not only explain why some patients face dramatically poorer o

Identification of new molecular markers for multiple myeloma paves path for more precise t

Researchers at Cima and Clinica Universidad de Navarra have identified new molecular mechanisms underlying multiple myeloma. This type of hematologic cancer, which affects the bone marrow, is characterized by its resistance to treatment, leading to relapses in patients. The resea

BCG vaccine may rewire brain immunity, shift Alzheimer's markers over 12 months

New research led by Mass General Brigham investigators suggests that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine—which is delivered through the skin to prevent tuberculosis—may remodel the human brain's immune environment, offering a potential biological explanation for previously
